The image, taken by acclaimed sports photographer Adam Butler, depicts Everton's Ian Snodin making a desperate attempt to prevent Wimbledon's John Fashanu from scoring a goal at Plough Lane. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling soccer pitch, with the lush green grass and the vibrant colors of the players' kits creating a sense of energy and excitement. The intensity of the moment is palpable as Snodin throws himself at Fashanu's feet, both players locked in a battle for the ball.
